My cooking class with Kate Middleton

TV chef Rachel Khoo claims the Duchess of Cambridge attended a cooking class at Leith's cookery school.

In an interview with Woman magazine, Khoo, who starred in the BBC Two cookery show, The Little Paris Kitchen, said Kate was in her class.

“Kate was ill for a few days, so I took notes for her. She was a lovely person, but she kept herself to herself,” she told the magazine.

On its website, the West London school claims to provide courses “for interested amateurs of all ages” that will “instil a lasting love of good food and wine”.

Although a three-week course doesn’t come cheap – costing more £2000 – we’re sure the Duke of Cambridge and little Prince George will appreciate Kate’s fine culinary skills.

It might be wise for Prince William to join her next time. He once revealed he was a terrible cook: “When I was trying to impress Kate I was trying to cook these amazing fancy dinners and what would happen was I would burn something, something would overspill, something would catch fire,” he said.
